Kaske first Finn to win on Asian Development Tour

Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia: Janne Kaske produced a battling seven-under-par 65 to become the first player from Finland to win on the Asian Development Tour at the PGM MNRB Sarawak Championship today.

The 29-year-old Kaske missed a two-foot par putt on the third hole for his only bogey of the day before fighting back with eight birdies to triumph by four shots with a total of 12-under-par 276 at the Kelab Golf Sarawak.

Overnight leader Erwan Vieilledent of France enjoyed his best result on the ADT when he returned with a 72 for second place.

Malaysia’s Airil Rizman fired a 71 to share tied third place on 281 alongside Japan’s Masaru Takahashi (70) and Casey O’Toole (71) of the United States at the US $55,400) ADT event. 

Kaske played college golf at Augusta State University before turning professional six years ago. He played on the European Challenge Tour and on the mini tours in Europe before trying for the Asian Tour Qualifying School earlier this year where he missed the cut.
